And just in case the study wasn’t already offensive enough, they also added a “manly occupations” category this year to “recognize the hard-working guys that make so many American cities great places to live.”

Obviously, these said occupations include fire fighters, police officers, construction workers and EMT personnel. Funny, I thought this was 2010...not 1942.

So who commissioned this ridiculously sexist study?

The makers of Combos (yes, as in the little pretzels with cheese in the middle).

Call me crazy, but I never really thought of Combos as ‘the man’s man snack of choice.’ I also think it’s kinda funny that they’re boosting the male ego as a promotional ploy to get more dudes to eat one inch, cheese-filled pretzels.

Perhaps they should make them longer and thicker then change their name to Macheesemos.

In related news, having landed at #50 on the list, it appears that Portland, OR may just be the “Most Feminine City in America” (or just really lame).
